Las Vegas live periods – out-of-area standouts

With literally hundreds of basketball teams converging on the Mecca of summer basketball, Las Vegas lived up to the hype.

My colleagues Frank Burlison and Joel Francisco were flanked across the region, capturing as much of the action as humanly possible, from Dinos Trigonis’ Las Vegas Fab 48 (perhaps the strongest field in the even’t history), Bigfoot Hoops’ Las Vegas Classic, the West Coast Elite UA Finals and Rising Stars Invitational and the Rebound Hoops Las Vegas Finals.

For my part, I’ll be breaking down the showing of the large San Diego contingent in a series of reports, starting with the 2019 standouts, with the 2020, 2021 and 2022 classes to follow. Additionally, this report will discuss the top players from outside of Prep Hoops So-Cal’s coverage area that I saw over the five-day period.

Las Vegas live periods – out-of-area standouts

2019

Michael Green III, NY Gauchos 17u – Wiry 5-11 combo guard with blinding quickness off the dribble, scores it from all three levels, great on-ball defender.

Isaiah Hill, Compton Magic 17u Elite – Rapidly becoming one of the best “true” point guards on the West Coast, solid court vision and feel in the pick-and-roll, and drive-and-kick, shoots it with confidence from three and with the pull up.

2020

Kiimani Holt, Powerhouse Hoops 16 UAA – Smooth shooting 6-4 wing can fill it up in a hurry from all three levels.
